“Neither​ ​rain​ ​nor​ ​torrents​ ​nor​ ​the​ ​wind's​ ​strong​ ​burst, Nor​ ​flick'ring​ ​power,​ ​nor​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​change Could​ ​keep​ ​me​ ​from​ ​my​ ​appointed​ ​bratwurst.” —Dave​ ​Lieberman,​ ​OC​ ​Weekly

“There​ ​was​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​interest​ ​in​ ​that​ ​spot​ ​from​ ​many​ ​established​ ​brands​ ​and​ ​they​ ​chose​ ​us​ ​so we’re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​take​ ​Viking​ ​to​ ​the​ ​next​ ​level.​ ​Our​ ​longtime​ ​fans​ ​who​ ​have​ ​been​ ​chasing​ ​the​ ​truck for​ ​so​ ​long​ ​will​ ​finally​ ​have​ ​a​ ​place​ ​to​ ​call​ ​home.”

I am looking for a great food truck on weekends to park and serve in front of my coffee shop in Mid-City. We see well over the minimum tickets required and believe this would be a great fit for the right outfit.

بينما قد تكون متحركًا ، لا يمكنك الوقوف في أي مكان. تقصر معظم المناطق شاحنات الطعام والمقطورات والحافلات والعربات على مواقع محددة. … قد تضطر أيضًا إلى الالتزام بقيود وقوف السيارات لمدة ساعتين ودفع مقابل عدادات وقوف السيارات – نعم ، حتى العربات. احرص أيضًا على الوقوف بالقرب من الرصيف قدر الإمكان – ولا تقم أبدًا بركن سيارتك مرتين. يولد نظام المياه في أي شاحنة طعام ماءً ساخنًا من خلال سخان المياه. سيتم تشغيل سخان المياه الخاص بشاحنة الطعام بالكهرباء. هذا يعني أنها سهلة التركيب وفعالة. تحصل شاحنات الطعام على طاقتها من ثلاثة مصادر رئيسية ، مثل مولدات الديزل المحمولة ، واسطوانات الغاز البترولي المسال والألواح الشمسية المتصلة بسقف عربة الطعام. شكرا لقراءة هذا المقال.
